S. S. Ruby Giant Pepper is a splendid table variety 



Crimson Giant Pepper 



PEPPERS 



Practically all of our Peppers are grown within an hour's ride of our Moorestown Seed Farms, and we are thus able to keep in 

 close touch with the growing operations. The crop this year has been a normal one, and the seed we offer we believe to be of splendid 

 vitality and quality. The list which we offer below has been selected from the varieties which have been carried by us in the past. 

 We believe that each has its distinct part to play, as all are different in type. 



Culture. — Sow the seed in a hotbed in March and transplant when the soil outside is sufficiently warm, in rows 2y A feet apart 

 and 18 inches apart in the row. 



One ounce of seed will sow 300 feet of drill and make approximately 1,500 plants

 averaging 4 to inches long, by 3 y 2 to 4 inches wide at the

 and the Ruby King, hence its name. The flesh is mild and 

 sweet and beautiful deep green when young, brilliant red when 

 ripened. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., V 4 lb/$1.25, lb. $4.

 beautiful dark green. It is the latest of all Peppers in maturing.
